Hi everyone! I am new to this forum. I was diagnosed with Fibromyalgia in April this year and had a really chronic flare in September, which led me to having to have a month of sick leave and cut back to part-time hours to manage my condition. I'm slowly starting to get on top of it, however...

Hi I'm new to this forum. I live in Tampa and I really need a doctor that understands my fibromyalgia and can manage my pain. In addition, I have 2 herniated discs and bulging discs, with spinal stenois Any advise would be helpful. Thanks

Now, I know some of you will look at the subject of this post and laugh bitterly. Exercise! That must be nice. If you are in constant, debilitating pain there is probably not much you can do. So I don't want to make you feel bad. But for people who are in a little bit better place, who have...

Hi everyone. I'm a little shy and it has taken me two years since my diagnosis to join this or any forum. I hope I can help someone by sharing information, but I want to start with a big complaint. In this "information age" why is it so hard to search for a doctor specializing in fibromyalgia...

Hi everyone:) I'm new to this forum but unfortunately I'm not new to fibromyalgia. I was diagnosed 2 years ago, suffered for 6 years in total but had a hard time being diagnosed. I'm a mum to a teenage daughter and work full time, both are basically only made possible by taking my meds...

Most mornings I manage to get out of bed by 10:00 am but only make it from the bed to my recliner where I sit and rest until I have the energy to fix myself a bagel and a glass of tea. I will either watch TV or read or play on my laptop for several hours. Then I will get up and make the bed then...

I was wondering if any of you have ever heard this story. I told my friends about it and now they seem to understand a little bit better that there is a limited amount of things that I can do every day. "The Spoon Theory My best friend and I were in the diner, talking. As usual, it was very...

Cant think of why its taken me this long to join a group. I have suffered for 13 years now. It all started with my first hip replacement in 2003 at the age of 35 when active joint replacements were still in an expiremental stage. Since, I had a second replacement on the other hip in 2008, when...
